What happened. Marcus Mariota threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Bralon Addison and Byron Marshall added a 15-yard touchdown run as the Ducks built a lead before halftime.

The big play: Following a penalty that gave Oregon second-and-11 in its own territory, Marcus Mariota found tight end Pharaoh Brown for an 18-yard gain that gave Oregon a first down and the Ducks later scored on the drive.
